Three member dentists, along with WSDA, are taking legal action against Delta Dental of Washington.

In a complaint filed today in King County Superior Court, Drs. Denny Bradshaw, Todd Irwin and Nathan Russell, along with the WSDA, allege that the Independent Directors of Delta's board of directors twice have unlawfully rejected bylaw amendments overwhelmingly passed by the organization’s member dentists to improve transparency into operations and make Delta more patient-focused.

The complaint also charges that Delta Dental has not held an annual meeting since November of 2016, despite the fact that such a meeting is required by both its own Bylaws and state law.
